Ehhh I mean… outside of up close, high res gaming? 4k doesn’t matter, it’s an excuse to add an extra 1k onto the price tag of a tv or monitor. Refresh rate is way more important.
If you watch a 4k bluray. It's night and day compared the 1080p. Same goes for the audio quality of them blurays. Compare 4k ones against standard bluray and there's a massive difference. And sadly there's also a massive difference favouring standard blurays against 4k streamed content.
Oh yeah there’s definitely a significant difference between 1080 and 4k visually, but it’s not super impactful for me anyway
My TV is 4K and I wouldn't know if I'm watching something in 4K or not unless I was scrutinising it. Especially the attrocious bitrates services stream their 4K at. I do notice 720 is a bit "fuzzy", but that's about it.
Yeah 720 vs 1080 is very noticeable. I will say even 1440 has its place for specific types of displays.
But it all comes down to distance I think, the closer you are to the display the more the pixel density influences your experience; refresh rate is impactful at any distance and resolution
I prefer a sharper picture, I even play cod on 60hz mode just to see better, but I can't say I wouldn't enjoy it better at 144hz at the same resolution.
144hz is a game changer
Would be, but the series x 4k 120hz is so good, it can't even run on a consistent 1080p 50hz
I always use the resolution above my screen's on youtube, because the bitrate's so bad, and the difference is very very noticable on monitors
Maybe because your TV is too small?
4k is not about a sharper picture, neither was 1080p. The sharpness was already good enough. The point of the increase in resolution is larger TVs at the same sharpness. Back when I had an SD TV it was 576p on a 28” screen. When I moved on to 1080p I got a 50” TV. Notice how the size and the resolution increase are in the same ballpark. Now with 2160p I have a 77” TV, so there is still a little wiggle room. I could get to 100” at 4k before I would have to consider 8k.
TVs got larger over the years, and that was made possible by the increase in resolution. There is still some room for growth in 4k.
Probably. It's only 65'.
It depends a bit on your viewing distance. With 65” you should probably at about 1 to 1.5 meters from the screen.
As a person who stares at a lot of text up close, 4k makes a difference. I don't notice antialiasing pixels anymore, my eyes finally see it as a smooth blend and it looks like I'm reading actual print.
Are you staring at the text on a monitor up close or a tv from afar?
Up close, it's my computer monitor.
You can get a new 4K TV for ~200€, and most phones come with a camera greater than 8.3MP, but there's almost no 4K content available outside of Netfilx shows and tech youtubers
The dark seed of the force is a pathway to many resolutions that some might consider…unnatural.
Point me to one of those TVs bud- im sure they exist but at what size?
I found this for ~212€: https://brimex.hu/STRONG-SRT43UC4013-UHD-4K-LED-TV
Huf to eur because I only got local results: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=84800huf+to+eur
Smoothbrain ignorance like this is just noise.
someone has different opinions
downvotes and insults
You okay kiddo?
It's your opinion? Your opinion is incorrect. It's an objective fact that 4K, not to mention HDR, matters.
I mean, that’s subjective. If it’s impactful for you? Then sure, it matters for you. It isn’t for me, therefore doesn’t
The more important question, is why are you being so hostile over…. video resolution?
Depends. I never noticed it on streaming services (that might just be because they suck tho so idk) but once I tried it on a game on my PC it did look different. But the amount of added GPU power I‘d need is just not worth it imo.
Disagree. Watched a 4K HDR remux of Alien on my OLED TV last night and the quality was mindblowing. Bitrate matters more than resolution overall, but once you’re at the “enough” point you’ve gotta increase resolution to really push the quality up.
